I just flashed CM6. The only thing I miss having is the visual voicemail.
Is there possibly a way I can get it back? Or use a different, GOOD, one?
The 3 in Market are all horrible, plus they share your info. (YouMail does at least)
Search the forums for the sprint one. I think its in the thread with the "must have apps for cyanogen" thread.
Sprint vvm is linked in the op msg of the cm nightly thread in this forum down by the FAQ section of the post.
Or if you're lazy here's a direct link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7246771&postcount=35
also imo google voice is a superior voice mail solution. a lot more options and tones of features. just my opinion though
How the heck do you override Sprint's vm? I keep getting an error message that my network carrier is currently not supported and will not allow me to set up google voice. I had it set up fine on my Droid.
I just ignore that message and it works fine.

I second this notion.
Doesn't work for me..
The application runs, but never downloads voicemails. It's been over a week..
I'm running the newest MIUI - n_i_x MIUI v0.12.3.0 on my Incredible. It doesn't have the Verizon Visual Voicemail. I've downloaded the Verizon Visual Voicemail from the market, but it tells me that my phone came with a visual voicemail application and that I need to uninstall the one I downloaded from the market.
Has anybody gotten the VVM to work with MIUI? Or, does anybody have the Incredible vvm.apk file I can try?
Also, please do not ask me why I don't just use Google Voice. I'm asking about the VVM application. I've also asked this on the MIUI Dev forum and nobody has answered.
Thanks.
NT - Though I found an answer when I didn't.
Verizon VMM on non Stock ROMs
You can modify the build.prop change the "ro.HorizontalVVM = true" to "ro.HorizontalVVM = false" and the VVM app from the market gets past its uninstall me screen and continues to set-up. I use Google Voice and am not paying the $3 for the VZW service so I don't know how far it actually works. Test it out and let us know? Maybe others can include the update to the file for ROM releases?

Yup, this worked. Attached is the edited build.prop.
How do u install this?
Hi guys. First post for me but I've been reading these forums ever since I got my GN in January. Thanks to these forums I successfully updated my phone to yakju, then takju, and this morning to takju with JB 4.1.1. So...first I want to say thanks.
Second, I do have a question regarding the Sound Recorder app in JB. I noticed it for the first time when it popped up as an option while trying to upload to Facebook. I don't see it in the app or widget drawer. I checked in settings> apps>all and I see it there. Is there a way to add it to the home screen or actually launch it? Maybe I'm missing something and in that case feel free to pwn me.
Thanks in advance...
i too would like to know this, if anyone has any idea?
Just as in previous versions of android, the sound recorder app is not able to launch via the app drawer. If you really want to launch it, there is some code that you can put in to a terminal app, but the app will not actually save sounds to your phone. It is used as an extension of sorts that records sounds into certain apps, messages, etc... If you want to record audio files to your phone check out an app like Easy Voice Recorder on Google Play Store or my personal favorite, TapeMachine Recorder. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)
thanks for this jong31 - this is my first android device so wasn't aware of this particular limitation seen as all my other handsets down the years have always had a voice/sounder recorder built in!
i will go and download from the store now
I know this should go in apps/themes but will probably get most visibility here, plus this thread will die quick enough anyways. Mods, move it if you want, not that you need my permission.
LANDING PAGE
PLAY STORE LINK :highfive:
Hangouts replaces Talk.
Also, the Search (Now), Maps, & Music updates are avaiable.
The Chrome version is there and pops up a window overlay
Anyone know if SMS is part of it? Seems silly for it not to be, but doesn't look like it's part of it. So not actually unified messaging yet.
Hangouts for android is live!

No carrier sms, more like Google voice messages with picture capabilities.

Just installed it, and people's numbers are listed. What happens if I send a message to one? Bearing in mind that Google Voice doesn't yet exist in the UK!
Really does seem like an huge gap. They talked about getting technology out of the way so you can get on with communication, but I still have two apps to send messages and pictures to other people!
deleted, repeat message

It verified my # first?. But didnt migrate my sms list and the hangout message I sent didnt show in sms. I agree it would be cool if that was a feature, maybe in the future.
Didnt want to make a new thread for this but since we are talking about apps and stuff announced at Google I/O. New updates for Google Play music and Google search are in the play store. Google Play Music looks COMPLETELY different.
It tried to verify my number, but I think that's a WhatsApp style link for others to find you.
However, my SIM reports my number as something else entirely because I ported a number over. So it couldn't verify me. Trying to talk to my network now, they're not answering...

I like the improvements too! I figured as much of a hot topic as Hangouts has been I might as well post the thread just in case someone forgot what today is lol. Like I said in the OP, I'm expecting it to die quickly - just a friendly PSA. But you are correct, probably didn't warrant a new thread but I've seen worse.

Mine said it was going to send a sms, but I never received one, instead I received a notification that my # was verified.
Yeah, but the number my SIM reports is not my phone number, and Hangouts picked up the number from the SIM! Trying to get the network to reset it...
When I open up the play store link, it says installed but when I open it, Google Talk opens up...any ideas?

I am not getting the new interface for Hangouts via the Chrome plug in. Only seeing the Talk interface. Any pointers?

Do you mean in Gmail? Because it's a floating window outside of that. Click the new button on your toolbar...

This is transitioning Talk into Hangouts so it may take a little time for everything to line up. At first I was being directed to "Hangouts (replaces Talk)" that just said "open" on my device, and it looked like Talk. But then, after a dozen impatient refreshes, "open" changed to "update". Now Talk is labeled Hangout and has the new UI, but the icon is still Talk. Messages I am sending in Hangout on my phone are appearing in Talk in gmail on my comp right now.

In my phone I have the Hangout installed now, even started a group conversation, but still getting the old Talk interface in chrome, hence not seeing group messages, and not getting either the new emoticons, nor the new interface, nor the smileys, even when I click the new Hangout button in the toolbar. Maybe it will be implemented after some time in the future

If you are using a ROM where Talk is one of the system apps, you may need to uninstall it. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then downloaded Hangouts from the Play Store.

If I'm understanding you right, you're trying to access Hangouts via the Gmail web interface. The Chrome Hangouts plugin does NOT replace the Talk box in Gmail. It adds an extra app, which is accessed by clicking the Hangouts icon on your Chrome toolbar.
The Gmail web interface will be rolled out later and will be upgraded from within Gmail itself.
Sideload mirrors as attached. (hangouts apk was too large for xda. reuploading...)

I made the mistake of overwriting the AT&T visual voicemail app with a themed version that somebody built that does not play friendly with the Note 5. Anyone have the apk for the native app? Thanks!

You can't overwrite it. Just uninstall the update. Give me a minute and I'll edit this to give details.
Settings, device page, Applications, Application manager, swipe to the "all" area, scroll wayyyyyy down to "visual voicemail" and tap that, and then "uninstall updates" near the top.

Thanks - I would have never thought to do that. It worked.
Another issue, but this is AT&T. Ever since I upgraded from Note 4 to Note 5, I lost the voicemail-to-text feature in the app. I just noticed it. The option isn't there in settings. I called AT&T, they flipped a switch on their end, told me to reboot the phone and the next time I opened the app and checked settings, voicemail-to-text would show up as a feature. It's still not there.
I'm going to call them back, but anyone know how to force that update? Maybe I should totally disable the app, reboot and then enable? Other than that, it might need a factory reset unless AT&T can push out that setting to my phone, but I don't think that's possible.
I think It's a different app. Search Google play for "at&t voicemail" and install the one by at&t...

You can't download the AT&T visual voicemail from the Play Store on the Note 5 - not compatible.
However, I was able to download it and side load install it. Then set it up, disable the built in visual voicemail and I now have text transcription working - I don't like the visual interface as much as the built in visual voicemail, but I'll take it just so I have text transcription working.
